I seem to be getting a fair bit of interest in the Software Tools
In Pascal software that I have ported to VM/CMS - six requests
already. So, I will probably be posting it sometime soon. It'll
be in 6 or so pieces. (~ 300k).
However, someone answering my posting indicated that there may be
a problem with copyright. Does anybody know for sure whether the
Software Tools in Pascal sources (as shown in the book) are freely
distributable? I'd rather not call Addison-Wesley to find out, because,
due to previous experience with them, it is unlikely that I will find
anybody who really knows either. If they are not freely distributable,
I may be able to distribute in another way: if you can provide
proof-of-ownership (somehow - eg: mailing me a signed copy of the
receipt or maybe even clipping out the ISBN number or something -
precise details if necessary later) of the book I should be able to
mail it out and have intermediate sites forward it to other places to
avoid too much duplication of transmission. Presumably ownership
of the book essentially constitutes a source license. You really
need to have the book anyhow to port the junk.
